Random musings on history, politics, and more

Haaretz today says that the Egyptians are reporting an Iranian vessel carrying arms bound for Hamas was sunk by a foreign power off the coast of Sudan last week. The details are kind of sketchy – it was torpedoed, or maybe “bombed” by a “warship” – but whatever the details, if it’s true, it’s one hell of a provocation by whoever did it…

Anyone want to hazard a guess as to whether all the international warships in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden are all entirely concentrating on anti-piracy patrols, or whether some of them have “other” tasks they’re carrying out? 🙂
